and further used the IO method through combining the field of environment and
the economy [13]. At the same time, in view of the special relationship between
water resources and humans, some scholars in the United States and other countries
have done water IO analysis. For example, Carter and others use inter-regional IO
models to study the use of Colorado River water in California and Arizona [1]. At the
Twelfth International Conference on IO Technology [35], Hynd Bouhia proposed a
water IO model and a method for calculating water prices using IO. German scientist Torsley suggested using a generalized IO model to study economic development
and pollution control, combining IO technology with mathematics for planning and
planning, and calculating the shadow price of water resources and the shadow price
of wastewater discharge and treatment, respectively.
In 1993, the United Nations established SEEA (The System of Integrated Environmental and Economic Accounting) as a subsidiary account of SNA and published
the SEEA operation manual in 2000, which elaborated on forest resources, land
resources, underground assets, water resources, and air pollution. The accounting
method describes the environmentally adjusted aggregate indicators and discusses
how to apply comprehensive environmental and economic accounting data to
economic and environmental policies, evaluate economic behavior, identify environmental problems, evaluate and revise policies, etc.
In 2007, Hawkins and others published the paper A Mixed-Unit Input-Output
Model for Environmental Life-Cycle Assessment and Material Flow Analysis [12].
This article combines the material flow analysis model and the economic IO model to
create a mixed unit IO model to better track the economic transactions and material
flows of the entire economy related to production changes. The resulting model
provides the capabilities of logistics and IO models. Through detailed material
tracking of the entire supply chain, in response to any currency or material demand,
it marks that scholars have officially introduced IO analysis into the environmental
analysis. Since then, relevant experts and scholars have done a certain degree of
discussion and research on resources, environment, and economic development by
improving the traditional IO table.
3.4 Performing an Input-Output Analysis
The subject area of IO analysis is not limited to an empirical research method, it is also
a mathematical economics and economic accounting method. It covers the three most
important elements of economic analysis in its relatively independent system: theory,
data, and methods. These three elements are not independent but closely related. IO
analysis method is a kind of economic mathematical model analysis technology, and
IO model is its manifestation. The IO technical analysis model includes two steps:
constructing the IO table and building the mathematical models.
